Does anyone here think your skids have been sexually abused?
Quite frankly, I come across some entries where I can't help but wonder if the kids in question were sexually abused, because I've done a ton of research on this subject, and some of these blog entries mention actions/behaviors of the kids that are also symptoms of abuse (i.e. bedwetting, sexually inappropriate behavior, etc).
Is your SKs BM on ivillage?
Do you know this for certain or suspect it.
I've been on ivillage and left because I got flamed for sticking up for a SM. I decided to see if BM was there. I didn't find anything about her there. She mostly sticks to myspace anyway.
We wonder a lot if BMs ever come here to find stuff on us. Have you ever gone to ivillage and seen posts there with very familiar stories?

OT- do you have any pets?
If so, what kind of pets?
Growing up, I had 3 Dutch rabbits and they were wonderful. They were so adorable! 2 of them lived to be 10 and the other lived to be 11. I was their main caretaker. They were so kissable and lovable. I was very attached to them.
Now I have two rescue dogs. One is a naughty, lovable chocolate lab/German Shepherd mix. He's really smart and we rescued him when he was a little pup. His name is Aslan.
Our other one is a beagle-terrier mix. I really, really love my animals. I consider them and SDs to be my kids, and I count them as people!

Dealing with a BM and/or skid with a disability/disorder.
I know a lot of us deal with bi-polar BMs, and BMs who have other disorders, which may or may not be diagnosed.
A lot of these disorders are hereditary. I.e. my mom has Asperger's Syndrome and so do I.
The Ten Commandments of Co-Parenting (feel free to add more)
http://coparenting101.org/ten-commandments-of-co-parenting/
1. Resolve conflicts without putting kids in the middle. This requires being objective about your children’s needs (and not confusing them with your own) and compromising when the situation warrants. Stick with a conflict until it’s resolved; don’t let a problem fester and then punish the other parent passive-aggressively or be difficult in unrelated situations.
What is the most tactless thing BM has said/done to you?
For me, it was making fun of me when I miscarried.
Stepparents like this give us a bad name.
This guy murdered his young stepdaughter. I wish that he could spend every day behind bars, since the death penalty isn't on the legal books in Canada. She was a little girl with her whole life ahead of her.
To the guy who murdered this little girl:

PAS should be a crime.
I know we've talked about it thousands of times here but I'll say it again. PAS should be a crime. It is child abuse. Any child abuser/PASinator deserves to do a stint in prison and lose custody permanently. Maybe if PASinators knew that they would face hefty jail time and losing custody, they wouldn't practice PAS.
I think PAS needs to be discussed at our national and state Capitols. I think someone from our site should run for state or national office and get PAS on the radar screen, and introduce a bill making it a crime.

Has your DH ever been called a deadbeat dad?
If so, how did he (and/or you) respond to the person calling him that?
BM used to call DH a deadbeat dad, despite his paying her $1500 a month for two kids and constantly taking her to court to enforce his visitation rights. Now that we have custody, she's not calling him names anymore, but it aggravated me.

Communication Issues with BM
Back when we had EOW visitation, and DH would try to communicate with BM about the skids' schooling, medical and psychological issues, she wouldn't communicate with him. She wouldn't give him any information. He ended up having to call the school, doctor, psychologist, etc.
